If you've ever wondered why one side of your house is cooler then the other? It could be the location of your thermostat. Generally you want to keep your thermostat away from any areas near exterior doors and windows. When those windows or doors are open, they will effect the thermostat. Keeping it close to an exterior door in the winter can kick your furnace on more frequently and making the house warmer in other areas. The same effect will occur in the summer with your air conditioning. In this video, the thermostat is in the kitchen. If you're baking around the holidays that will keep the furnace off and make the rest of the home much cooler. Ideal placement is typically the hallway where the bedrooms are. This is where you'll get more balance throughout the home. In some larger homes you may want to have zones which will have multiple thermostats that will regulate different areas of the home.
